This place used to be our go to restaurant after Chi-Chi's closed up, and I have to say they are a big disappointment. When it comes to the fajitas, I usually get the shrimp fajita, and my husband gets the chicken fajita, and to be honest with you there's barely any shrimp and barely any chicken, very greasy and heavy. The chips are not like they used to be, please bring back the old cozmuzel we used to love. read more

Very quick to-go service. I have ordered to-go the past 2 days, and it was ready within 10 minutes of ordering both times. The food is really good! read more

Busy spot, can get loud, but the food was amazing! Chips and Salsa are some of the best. Great drinks. Service is very attentive. I went to the location in Independence/Valley view. Can't speak for the other locations. read more

We love the service and the food. They are nice and the restaurant is always clean and the amount of food you get is great. They care about their customers!! read more

We have been here a handful of times, usually when heading into or away from Cleveland. More cars in the parking lot than ever and wait time and service was very reasonable. Waiter very friendly and animated. Salsa (chips) recipe seems different this time but was really good. Wife says fajita bowl was very good. I had the five enchilada plate. Five different kinds of enchiladas. Part of my reason for this choice is no typical rice and beans add-on as with most meals. A nice place we find ourselves returning to often. And no tacked on credit card fee. I say support the restaurants that do not tack on three or four percent. read more

If you're looking for fast (serving) food, but not necessarily good food, this is the place for you. It is not terrible, but I wouldn't eat there again even after a few drinks. The restaurant is clean and the customer service is good: but the food didn't taste fresh. My food came out so fast (in about 5 mins) that it looked like leftovers heated up in a microwave. One of my dishes has a pool of water sitting at the bottom so I'm assuming it was thawed before serving, but I'm unsure. It wasn't very tasty. If I had to choose between here and chipotle, I'd choose the latter without hesitation. I will say, I enjoyed the chips and salsa, but they shouldn't be the highlight imo. The prices are fair and other restaurant goers appeared to have enjoyed their meals. read more

Great food, Great services, nice drinks, great prices. The staff is amazing and the entire menu is affordable. One of my favorite places!

This place was awesome! It was packed at lunch time when we showed up, they were still able to get us right in, our waitress came right away, got our drink order and brought them right away. Came back got our order and it was right out! The food was AMAZING!! I had 3 ground beef enchiladas and beans and AMAZING!! I'd recommend Cozumel to anyone looking for good Mexican food!!! read more

Cozumel was amazing! When I say that we had chips and salsa, our drinks, AND our ordered food within eight minutes of being seated, I mean a literal eight minutes, as in 480 seconds. I was BLOWN AWAY by the service, as the entire staff was smiling and served us so thoroughly. We constantly were refilled, and they constantly were asking if we needed anything. The restaurant itself was clean and had a nice, relaxed atmosphere; the music was not too loud, and the lighting was appropriately dim, though not too dim, for a casual dinner. The food was fresh and delicious; there's no denying that! read more

I didn't like the flood at all, but the service was great I ordered their Diablo burrito but didn't bother to take a picture. It wasn't as spicy as I thought it was going to be and the margaritas was just so-so. I won't be going back. read more

Great food and drinks! Love the service as well. Will keep on coming back! Food hs great flavor and eell seasoned

Always great service, friendly staff and delicious food! Definitely get the guacamole and salsa when you're here. You're welcome!

They always find a reason not to except the coupons they put in the paper. Staff was not very friendly read more

Horrible meat!!!!! I've tried every meat and they are all dry. Knowone knows how to cut vegetables there. Worst white mexican restaurant I've ever tried. read more

I've been to this place 3 times in the last 8 days. What more can I say ? I have been looking for enchiladas in tomatillo sauce all around Cleveland but I wasn't able to get a tase I had on my tastebuds that developed at a Mexican restaurant In Atlantic City. When I came here the first time, and the second and third time, I always ordered enchiladas. I finally found the perfect place to satiate the taste I was looking for. Coming back to the review. The restaurant is pretty spacious, has a nice bar and ample seating space for quite s lot of people. We never had to wait for more than 5 minutes to get a table. No matter when I came here, it was always crowded which shows the liking of people for this place. The staff is super nice and friendly. You get welcomed with fresh chips and salsa as soon as you grab a seat. For the ones who like hot food, ask for the habanero salsa. They also give you the sauce they add to the enchiladas to try before you make your choice. Boy, do I love their sauces, absolutely. No this less than 5 stars for the food. Do try their chicken soup too. It comes with shredded chicken, chips and rice in it and is extremely filling and tasty. The service is always quick. I was having s bad throat day and I asked the server to get me some water at room temperature and she made sure the water was perfect, neither too hot, nor too cold. She has already become my favorite server at this place. The food came pretty quick too and was over in almost no time. It isn't that everyone was starving, the food was so delicious that we couldn't resist eating fast. 5 stars for the service too. Last but not the least, the price of food and drinks is very reasonable at this place. You can get 2 chicken enchiladas with a side of rice and beans during lunch time for about $8 which is awesome. I have paid more money at small Chinese takeaways for a small lo mein and a small soup. 5 stars for the price too. This is gonna be our to go place for lunch hereafter. Cheers read more

Just came in for Cinco De Mayo, and they're super busy. I've never seen a staff work so fast and efficiently. Food and drinks came out insanely quickly, and everything was delicious. Great atmosphere and service from Leah. Will definitely return! read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is awesome, the service is excellent and the margaritas are outstanding!

They have great food and great service! The shrimp fajitas were amazing and a huge portion size to have for 2 meals. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a party of 8 and they were very accommodating for a larger party. We will definitely be back! read more

The service here is insanely fast. The waiter had chips on the table before my butt hit the seat. And I never had to ask for a refill or anything, they are on it! One of the best places in Cleveland for authentic Mexican food. Great food and friendly staff. read more

Food was good. Cheese dip was real good. Service at new location was excellent. Staff was real attentive.

Stopped in today on a whim. Haven't been here in years! First, I loved the individual salsa cups. The salsa it self was quite good! Chips were fresh and warm. The vegetarian menu left a bit to be desired as the only stand out item was the veggie tacos. They were good but lacking a little flavor. The spinach queso fundido was very good! I enjoyed the rather small but tasty chalupa. Our waitress was very nice and the restaurant clean, spacious and well appointed. read more

My friends and coworkers have raved about this place so we organized a group happy hour to try it out. It looks like your typical mexican joint, similar menu to every other mexican place I've been to. Their salsa was okay, not my favorite but I loved that they gave us each our own and lots of hot chips. Due to medical reasons I couldnt drink, I loved that the waiter offered to make me a non-alcoholic drink, I tried a guava one, it was good but at happy hour it cost more than the alcoholic one ha. I probably should have just splurged on a soda lol. I ordered a vegetarian combo dish, it was good, not a ton of flavor, but pretty much the standard. One of the hot sauces on the table was amazing, I added it to everything!! My coworker got fajitas, those looked super good, lots of food. Everyone else got combos that all said they were good. read more

This is by far one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to in a very long time! And more importantly, more reasonably priced than all the other Mexican restaurants! Condado is one of the worst Mexican restaurants I've been to and their prices are almost 3x more expensive than this restaurant. read more

Delicious food love burritos but my favorite is the I believe seafood Queso especially for lunch break

Often drove past this place and always wanted to stop in and see about it. (With my love of Authentic Mexican). Lunch special is pretty good, the picture below is a lunch special chicken fajita. Experience was overall good. Will definitely come back to explore the menu further. Kinda was in a rush so i didn't have time to sit down and do a full menu run down. UPDATE! Recently went back for lunch with my company, decided to check out the fajitas this time. They did not disappoint, it's a lot of food and extremely hard to finish but I persevered and finished lol. Not a bad problem to have! Definitely can see this place becoming a favorite spot of mine. So if you're ever in Independence, Ohio and are looking for lunch or dinner stop by! read more

Although there is rarely a time where this restaurant isn't quite busy, they were able to prepare our order relatively quickly. He food was just the right amount to leave me feeling full, but not to the point of bursting. The restaurant was generous with the chips and salsa, which was nice considering the size of our party. My personal recommendation is the enchiladas rojas, in which you receive three enchiladas and a side of rice. The food was cooked just right, and it was still piping hot when served to us. If you're planning to come here, just watch out for the parking lot. With so many people coming and going, it can be hard to find a decent parking space. read more

The food wasn't that great it felt like it was all just jumbled together and thrown on a plate. Not much flavor. My friend ordered a quesadilla a specific way because it had a few things she didn't like in it and they still put it in there and two of the servers got upset because she wanted a discount because the first plate of food she got was bland I know because she had me try the fish from the fish tacos and it tasted like nothing so she wanted something else. The servers were just so rude when she was trying to explain she basically had to take out all the stuff she didn't want which took awhile. It was our first time going and that was the only time since they were rude. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant here In Ohio!! My food is always fresh and the service is great!

I've been to Cozumel at least a half dozen times and I think it's always been with my coworkers. While it's not my favorite Mexican spot in Cleveland, I've enjoyed my experiences there and have no problem going for a happy hour or quick lunch. My favorite dish so far has been the Baja tacos, which come with crispy fish, a cabbage slaw, guac, and a sweet spicy red sauce. I've also had their choripollo and fajitas...all average but good! Their chips have always been hot and crispy, and I like that everyone gets their own salsa bowl. The salsa had a good balance of cilantro and spice. The service has always been quick and friendly, and this place definitely fills up quickly during peak hours! read more

If you think you have to head downtown to one of the trendy new Mexican joints for a great meal, think again. Cozumel knocked all expectations out of the park tonight! We arrived around 7 and sat at a high-top in the bar which was noticeably clean with pretty traditional Mexican music playing and decor. We hadn't eaten much all day and knew better than to get lulled into the basket of warm and perfectly salted chips and salsa but we did it anyway...and added a side of guacamole and cheese dip, just because. It was the perfect way to start the evening. Salsa was flavorful and not too kicky and the cheese dip was just the right consistency. Guac was also great. We could have stopped there, but instead I ordered the Fajita Rice Bowl (steak) and a chicken enchilada (ala carte) and my son ordered the Burrito Supreme and a chicken quesadilla (ala carte). Presentations were beautiful, bright and fresh. Why we ordered so much, I still don't know, but we couldn't get enough! Strongly recommend the rice bowl - complete with tender steak, rice, corn, black beans, onions, red and green pepper with cilantro undertones. Loved the sauce on the enchilada as well. Since I was driving, I opted to skip the customary margarita but the table next to us enjoyed 2 pitchers so I'm sure they're spectacular. My son cleaned his plates and we both declared Cozumel worth of a 5-star review and our recommendations for others to try it out. Kudos to our server, Katrina. Pleasant, attentive and spot on with her Fajita Rice Bowl recommendation! read more

My first visit to Cozumel was the Friday after Christmas. The lobby was packed, but we were seated after a short 10 minute wait. Our chips and salsa were placed on the table within minutes of sitting down and our drinks came out just as quickly. The staff was really hustling and running around to keep up, so there was no lag in service despite the full house. I had chicken tamales which were a little dry but still flavorful and filling. Our waiter was exceptionally attentive, which is even more impressive considering how busy he was. Nothing about the food really stands out, so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go there. However, if you're over in that area, it's definitely a great local Mexican food spot to check out. read more

Si habla espanol? Great authentic Mexican restaurant, Everyone there is bilingual would highly recommend, Food and service is fantastic

Stopped here on a Friday night just after 6 for a quick bite before a 7:30 show at Playhouse Square. We were hoping for fast service and were not disappointed. We were out of there in about 35 minutes! The guac was rather plain...needed lime juice, but the salsa was delicious and had a unique smoky flavor. My Baja tacos were amazing! Super crispy fish and creamy Mexican salsa...yum! The hubs thought his taquitos dinner was just okay...good, but nothing to write home about. Overall, great experience! We would come back. read more

My friend and I come here for the margarita pitcher, as it is such a great value and is delicious. We each got 4 drinks out of it, so I would say that is a win. Also, the guac and chips/salsa are flavorful as well. I have not yet tried any actual food off the menu, but if it's anything like the margs and guac, I bet it is amazing as well! read more

Great service and the Birria tacos were so good. Had to find a place to waste some time. The location being right off the highway, it was an easy pick. Glad I found this place I will be back for more! read more
